Are you refering to a specific engine, or how did you come to such
conclusions? What code base? What SQL features?

Wikka is clean enough to port it to fb in a few hours (it's 7 myisam
tables and only standard SQL queries, no mysql features whatsoever,
not that there are any in myisam anyway). Takes 2 days to make it db
agnostic. I've extended it in many ways over the years and it's very
very easy.
